Some of the churches have Good Friday services as well, call in advance to inquire.

If you are looking for Easter Egg dye, I think the best bet is to look at Aussino’s or Corner Deli. Rarely, Olivers and David’s have it as well. Metro, Carrefour, Trust Mart, and local stores most often do not have it. I saw some at City Super in Hong Kong just this weekend. You will not find the fancier types of egg dyes here (swirl paints etc). The best you will do is McCormick packets of food coloring. Use wax crayons on hot eggs to make designs.

David’s at Oakwood usually has some nice chocolates and chocolate bunnies. Metro likewise usually has seasonal items such as chocolate bunnies. Corner Deli often has them as well. Easter Baskets can be obtained at Haizhu wholesale market.

If you are looking for a nice cut of meat for Sunday dinner, many people enjoy the ham from the China Hotel Marriott Deli. It can be ordered by the kilo. Metro also has western style hams and other types of meat, albeit very expensive.

Turkeys can be obtained from Aussino’s, Corner Deli, or from wholesale shops near Yide Lu. Sometimes your houskeeper can be of great assistance in locating these items, particularly if she calls around to other housekeepers employed by expats.

Traders could sail their ships up to the dock, debark from their boat, and proceed straight to prayer. Life of Guangzhou web page also links to two Mosques:
